Hello All,
Today I will be playing along with Color My Heart Color Dare, Freshly Made Sketches, and The Paper Players Challenges. I love Autumn! Unfortunately, it is too short a season to really get its majesty. I do, however, try every year. Here is my card for today, enjoy!
 |
| I started this card by going to my VAST paper stash and choosing papers that would fit an Autumnal feel. The patchwork inspiration came from CMHCD. The patchwork on the dress is all I needed to get started. I die-cut each square and distressed it using DI. This way all the colors have some continuity. |
 |
| The blue border came from her bonnet which is so sweet. And the sprigs of leaves, wheat, and ferns came from her delicate bouquet. Holly Hobby was a true favorite back in the 1980s. |
 |
| The sentiment came was die-cut at an angle. One for interest but also allowing room for the adorable mushrooms and foliage to get tucked in behind the oval sentiment. A strip of brown paper matches the patchwork border which accentuates the horizontal lines of the card. |

Hello All,
For today I will be playing along with Freshly Made Sketches. Here is my slimline card for today, enjoy!
 |
| Here in Michigan, there are 129 lighthouses. Each one of them is unique and special on its own. But all were meant for one purpose; to warn sailors of impending danger and make sure they get on shore safely. That is the enduring aspect of lighthouses, showing a way forward for all who travel. That is why I think they make fantastic encouragement cards. |
 |
| Above: The scenes are meant to show no matter what, to let your light shine. It is for encouragement for hard times. Below: Each scene of the lighthouse has a shining element. As illustrated rain, sunbeams, and stars. This is from Hero Arts and their Looking Glass series of dies. |
